Judges 16:15-23[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第129章
大利拉天天用话催逼他,直到“他心里烦闷要死;”然而有一种不可捉摸的力量牵着他,使他一直留在大利拉身边。参孙终于被逼不过,泄露了心中的秘密,说:“向来人没有用剃头刀剃我的头,因为我自出母胎就归上帝作拿细耳人;若剃了我的头发,我的力气就离开我,我便软弱象别人一样。”大利拉立刻打发人去见非利士人的首领,请他们急速到她这里来。当这战士睡觉的时候,大利拉就把他的发绺剃掉了。于是大利拉象她以前三次一样呼叫说:“参孙哪,非利士人拿你来了!”他忽然惊醒,想要象以前一样运用他的力气杀灭他们;可是他那失去力气的膀臂不再听他的指挥了,他就知道“耶和华已经离开他了。”参孙的头发被剃之后,大利拉就开始戏弄他,使他疼痛,为要试验他是否仍有力气;因为非利士人还不敢走近他,直到他们确知他的力气已经离开了他。于是他们拿住他,剜了他的两眼,把他带到迦萨去。他在那里被铜链锁着,关在监牢里作苦工。{CC 134.2}[2]

And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him. Judges 16:20. {CC 134.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第129章
这个曾经作过以色列士师和勇士的参孙,如今竟变成软弱,瞎眼,服于最卑贱奴役之下的囚徒!这是多大的改变啊!参孙曾逐步违犯他蒙圣召的条件。上帝已经容忍他很久了;及至他屈服于罪恶的权势之下,而泄露了自己的秘密的时候,耶和华便离开了他。他的长发本身并没有什么特别的功能,那不过是他效忠上帝的一个记号而已;一旦他因放纵情欲而牺牲了这记号之后,这记号所代表的福分也就随之而丧失了。(PP566){CC 134.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第129章
Day by day Delilah urged him, until “his soul was vexed unto death;” yet a subtle power kept him by her side. Overcome at last, Samson made known the secret: “There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb: If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.” A messenger was immediately dispatched to the lords of the Philistines, urging them to come to her without delay. While the warrior slept, the heavy masses of his hair were severed from his head. Then, as she had done three times before, she called, “The Philistines be upon thee, Samson!” Suddenly awaking, he thought to exert his strength as before, and destroy them; but his powerless arms refused to do his bidding, and he knew that “Jehovah was departed from him.” When he had been shaven, Delilah began to annoy him and cause him pain, thus making a trial of his strength; for the Philistines dared not approach him till fully convinced that his power was gone. Then they seized him and, having put out both his eyes, they took him to Gaza. Here he was bound with fetters in their prison house and confined to hard labor. {CC 134.2}[3]

如果参孙自己并无过失而头发被剃了,他的力气仍必保留。可是他的行为表明他藐视上帝的恩惠和权威,正如他不在乎剪除自己头上的毛发一样,于是上帝任凭他去遭受他自己愚行的后果。(2BC.1007){CC 134.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第129章
What a change to him who had been the judge and champion of Israel!—now weak, blind, imprisoned, degraded to the most menial service! Little by little he had violated the conditions of his sacred calling. God had borne long with him; but when he had so yielded himself to the power of sin as to betray his secret, the Lord departed from him. There was no virtue in his long hair merely, but it was a token of his loyalty to God; and when the symbol was sacrificed in the indulgence of passion, the blessings of which it was a token were also forfeited.16 {CC 134.3}[4]
